An implementation of [Douglas Hofstadter](http://prelectur.stanford.edu/lecturers/hofstadter/)'s Copycat algorithm.
The Copycat algorithm is explained [on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copycat_%28software%29), and that page has many links for deeper reading. See also [Farglexandria](https://github.com/Alex-Linhares/Farglexandria).

The Copycat algorithm is explained [on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copycat_%28software%29), in Melanie Mitchell's Book [Analogy-making as perception](https://www.amazon.com/Analogy-Making-Perception-Computer-Modeling-Connectionism/dp/026251544X/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1FC76DCS33513&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.TQVbRbFf696j7ZYj_sb4tIM3ZbFbuCIdtdYCy-Mq3EmJI6xbG5hhVXuyOPjeb7E4b8jhKiJlfr6NnD_O09rEEkNMwD_1zFxkLT9OkF81RSFL4kMCLOT7K-7KnPwBFbrc9tZuhLKFOWbxMGNL75koMcetQl2Lf6V7xsNYLYLCHBlXMCrusJ88Kv3Y8jiPKwrEr1hUwhWB8vtwEG9vSYXU7Gw-b4fZRNNbUtBBWNwiK3k.IJZZ8kA_QirWQK1ax5i42zD2nV7XvKoPYRgN94en4Dc&dib_tag=se&keywords=melanie+mitchell&qid=1745436638&sprefix=melanie+mitchell%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-5#), and in [this paper](https://github.com/Alex-Linhares/FARGonautica/blob/master/Literature/Foundations-Chalmers.French.and.Hofstadter-1992-Journal%20of%20Experimental%20and%20Theoretical%20Artificial%20Intelligence.pdf).

This implementation is a copycat of Scott Boland's [Java implementation](https://archive.org/details/JavaCopycat).
The original Java-to-Python translation work was done by J Alan Brogan (@jalanb on GitHub).

The first number indicates how many times Copycat chose that string as its answer; higher means "more obvious".
The last number indicates the average final temperature of the workspace; lower means "more elegant".
